摘要

在本期Nature上发表的两篇论文中,作者发布了两个由Ca~(2+)激发的氯化物通道的X-射线晶体结构,它们是这种类型通道的首次发表的结构。Janine Brunner等人使“脂质混杂酶”发生了结晶,这种酶是催化脂质在一个双层的两叶之间运动的一种膜蛋白。该结构显示了一个亲水性跨膜空腔,该空腔暴露于脂质双层,催化过程可能在那里发生。Veronica Dickson等人使“bestrophin-1”发生了结晶。这个家族的蛋白会响应于细胞内Ca~(2+)浓度的上升将它们的阴离子选择性小孔打开。该结构显示,Ca~(2+)结合到一个五聚跨膜通道的胞质区域;并且还显示,该小孔是95A长,有至少15个不同的阴离子结合点。%The TMEM16 family of proteins, also known as anoctamins, features a remarkable functional diversity. This family contains the long sought-after Ca~(2+)-activated chloride channels as well as lipid scramblases and cation channels. Here we present the crystal structure of a TMEM16 family member from the fungus Nectria haematococca that operates as a Ca~(2+)-activated lipid scramblase. Each subunit of the homodimeric protein contains ten transmembrane helices and a hydrophilic membrane-traversing cavity that is exposed to the lipid bilayer as a potential site of catalysis. This cavity harbours a conserved Ca~(2+) -binding site located within the hydrophobic core of the membrane. Mutations of residues involved in Ca~(2+) coordination affect both lipid scrambling in N. haematococca TMEM16 and ion conduction in the Cl~-channel TMEM16A. The structure reveals the general architecture of the family and its mode of Ca~(2+) activation. It also provides insight into potential scrambling mechanisms and serves as a framework to unravel the conduction of ions in certain TMEM16 proteins.
